Data is the world’s most powerful asset. Any country that isn’t leveraging it is falling behind. 

And data’s impacts — positive and sometimes negative — are just beginning. Over the next several years the quantity, importance and speed of data will explode, with transformational impact on our economy and society. 

Canada needs a national data strategy. The Data Effect will explore the essential components of this strategy and how to make Canada a leader in the data age.  

Join us at this 8th edition of The Data Effect to map our national path forward.
